Ingredients
4 pounds chicken wings, each cut into two drumettes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1 lime lime zest
1 lime lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pat the chicken wing drumettes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps them crisp during baking.
In a large bowl, toss the dried chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, coating evenly. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the skin begins to turn golden. Remove and set aside.
While the wings bake, prepare the curry glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the softened unsalted butter, Thai red curry paste, lime zest, lime juice, honey, and soy sauce until smooth and well combined.
Transfer the baked chicken wings to a clean bowl and pour the curry butter glaze over them, tossing gently but thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
Serve the Thai red curry chicken wings on a platter and garnish generously with the chopped fresh cilantro. Serve immediately while hot.
Comments
Thai red curry paste is the hinge, and it's not at most Charlotte Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart—you'll need a special stop at an Asian market or Kroger's international aisle to find it reliably. The recipe is cheap once you have the paste: chicken wings are inexpensive and the pantry staples (lime, honey, soy) are everywhere, landing this at under $2 per serving. The stated 35 minutes omits the crucial 20–25 minutes to roast the wings until crispy, so plan for 55 minutes total. This is not a fussy dish and reheats decently in a 350°F oven, but it's a hands-off roast, not a weeknight sprint; budget the extra trip for curry paste and the real time commitment before committing.
